Rivers are always moving and widening as they flow, whereas lakes increase in size depending on the rainfall. Rivers do not collect much silt as compared to lakes. While rivers are often turbulent, lakes are placid.
Are you like a river as far as your career is concerned, learning new things and moving ahead or are you like a lake, learnt everything you need to know about your present position & your career is stagnating?
If you are a lake type, it is time to change your thinking, shed your complacency and get moving. Think of River Waikato, which flows out of Lake Taupo in New Zealand. Beginning as a lake, the water gushes out in a torrent near the township of Taupo to form the River Waikato, New Zealand's longest river. On the way to the sea, this river supports so many farms, a few power stations, and even canoeing facilities at Karapiro. It is a big boon to the area, so much so the area around it is know as Waikato region.. Similarly, when you come out of your lake mentality and flow like a river, not only it will benefit you but also those who interact with you.
I knew I was a river.. lolz
ReplyDeletebut what if you're a lake, that increases in size due to rainfall? isn't that a form of learning new things & moving ahead. So career wise, it would be as if you are complacent in your job, going through the promotions through the work phases of its ups and downs.
